Wayfinding <br /> A wayfinding project update was presented by Superintendant Sevcik to the Commission in <br /> November. At the meeting, Chair Anderson recalled a recommendation for horizontal park signs by <br /> the Commission.Attached are the 11-17-15 meeting minutes that do not specify a preference for <br /> vertical or horizontal signs. The bid documents were approved by the Council in June of 2017 and <br /> design changes were made by Council in July of 2017. The wayfinding project took over five years to <br /> complete with many Commission and City Council meetings and updates. <br /> Elk River-Opoly <br /> The department recently decided to engage in a new advertising approach brought to our attention <br /> by the Elk River Star News. The Star News created and is selling a limited edition game called Elk <br /> River-Opoly,based on the game Monoply O. The Railroad properties represent 4 major parks in our <br /> city,Rivers Edge Commons,Woodland Trails,Hillside,and Orono. The playing cards feature a <br /> picture of each park,along with the city logo,park address,website and phone number.As an added <br /> bonus, the Star News created a customized fate/destiny card. Sample is attached.The intent of this <br /> project is to capture the attention of current and potential park users,taking them from being <br /> curious/unaware to engaging in the parks system or eventually with programs. <br /> The Star News also asked if we had any pictures "that show the beauty of the city and our <br /> community", so the majority of the photographs on the outside of the box were submitted by the <br /> department. <br /> The Star News is selling the customized board game with an Elk River twist for only$26.99 plus tax <br /> at their location or online at their website. <br /> Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2018\12-12-18 PRC Packet\Director's Report 12-12-18.docx <br />
